This Fresh Egg Noodles recipe comes together in about 30 minutes and requires just one bowl for easy weeknight dinner that your family will love! You can switch up the ingredients as you go or use it as a “clean out the fridge” meal to get rid of leftovers and odds and ends.

The Ingredients You’ll Need
- All-Purpose Flour : 2 cups
- Large Eggs : 2
- Salt : 1/2 teaspoon
- Milk : 1/4 cup
Let’s Get Cooking!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Just whisk that together until it’s all blended.
- Make a well in the center and crack in those beautiful eggs, don’t worry if you get a bit of shell in there, just fish it out!
- Pour in the milk and start mixing the ingredients together until the dough begins to form.
- Now, let’s knead that dough! On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it looks smooth and feels slightly elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour.
- Roll out the dough into your desired thickness. I usually go for about 1/8-inch thick so they get that delightful chewy texture.
- Use a sharp knife (or a pizza cutter!) to cut the dough into noodle shapes, fettuccine, tagliatelle, whatever you fancy!
- Let the noodles dry for about 30 minutes on a floured surface. Don’t worry about perfection; they’ll still taste amazing!
- Boil a pot of water and throw in those lovely noodles, cook them for about 2-4 minutes until they’re al dente and oh-so-delicious!
